Protocol Buffers - Wikipedia
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers
- Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) is a method of serializing structured data. It is useful in developing programs to communicate with each other over a wire or for storing data. The method involves an interface description language that describes the structure of some data and a program that generates source code from that description for generating or parsing a stream of bytes that represents the structured data.

protocol buffers - How to define an optional field in protobuf 3 - Stack Overflow
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42622015/how-to-define-an-optional-field-in-protobuf-3/42634681
- In proto3, all fields are "optional" (in that it is not an error if the sender fails to set them). But, fields are no longer "nullable", in that there's no way to tell the difference between a field being explicitly set to its default value vs. not having been set at all.
